Roger Federer: "I did things well" – Tennis – ATP

"Roger, it's very successful against Daniil Medvedev?
It is true that I made things right today (Wednesday). Long reels, the invading game, changed … Everything I wanted to do, I worked, I can not be satisfied except.

The first set had a match of up to 4-4. What happens next on the service and when you have to save three balls to get out to 0-40 on your service?
Very often, when you go on in the competition you must have about fifteen minutes to find the way and the difference between the scores. It is not always easy. The edge is very tight. And sometimes you need a little help from your opponent. But you must protect and make your situation. At 0-40 he was still weighed, he had to break, he knew. Perhaps with this emphasis, he allowed me to find the right way. Be that as it may, I am very happy with the way I have played.

You have only played on the day since the competition started. Would you like to be programmed at night to meet each situation?
Honestly, the lights here are as big as the night. Here, it does not change much. And if you want to go to the finish, I think it will be possible to play during the day but also at night. He will go through it, but honestly after my twenty years of appointment, there is a suitable case for me. As long as I am in the competition, I am happy!

"I didn't see all the games but the Tsitsipas-Shapovalov was very nice"

In the finals of the 14th, Kevin Anderson, the person you met at Wimbledon last year, has been hitting him since then by the London Masters. What to expect from this game ?
I'm already pleased that I was able to hit it in London. It was important for me to be able to do this, after I had stopped doing it against Wimbledon, where I had two sets to zero extra degree. It had been difficult to lose that way. It's a big server, it takes the early ball, especially back, but it's very dangerous. I must play my game and I can make a performance today, it will be very good.

On the seasons, there's a record of young talents, with Denis Shapovalov's attendance, Frances Tiafoe, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Borna Coric?
Borna (Coric) he already knew it like that, it was in the final in Shanghai. Shapo has also played some semi-finals. But to the other people, of course, it is a great opportunity to reach the semi-finals, to feel what it means to be in the last march of a big competition. It needs to be very encouraging. That's where you want to be, at this stage in the competition, that feeling. I didn't see all the games, but the Tsitsipas-Shapovalov yesterday (Tuesday) was very good. I liked seeing them burning and I am sure they will still play big matches against each other in the future. "
